If you want that kind of news, then I'm sure there are all kinds of sites you could visit to find out how much of an a-hole some cop is in Des Moines, Iowa.
Yeah, but do they allow cop bashing?

You don't read the OT very often do you?


Since the central theme of this thread is around cops, let's use a cop analogy to explain this.

trolling the board is like speeding.

speeding is against the law and everybody does it sometimes but that doesn't mean you get a ticket every time you speed. Hell, you may even pass a cop with a radar gun while speeding but he doesn't write you a ticket because you are only going 5-6 mph over the limit. That doesn't mean speeding is any more legal than it was. However, you can bet that if that same cop catches you going 30 over the limit that you are getting a rather large penalty.

This isn't a "news" outlet or an outlet that claims to be an underground source for what the mainstream media refuses to report on. So, if you think that is what the OT is, then you might want to look for another place to get you news from.


So as long as its news that isn't in the Baton Rouge area, its ok, IE the black protesters marching across the freeway in Houston from yesterday that hasn't been anchored. Is this correct because there's really not a good answer here.

Well, there's no question. Therefore, you are correct.

HBR I believe your answer is a few posts back....

I would imagine that the thread you're talking about was anchored because there seems to be a daily cop bashing thread on the OT
Thats because there is well known wide-spread abuse of power by police officers and these stories need to be heard but exposing the truth about POS thug cops will not be tolerated on TD. TD admins will selectively choose what topics to debate. There is your answer.

Bitching about it on a message board will clearly change things

No, but posting the stories to public message boards to inform the public of the abuse will. Didn't realize TD is now anchoring these types of threads. That's ok, the less interesting TD becomes the less traffic you get and the less money you get. There goes my premium membership.

So let me get this straight... you are going to let the fact that they anchor a few select topics be the reason you don't sign up tor a premium membership?

No, it's because of assholes like you that me and my family wil never give a dime to TD. Honestly after today I probably won't post much, but I never really posted all that much anyway.

So let me get this straight, you claim that you're not an admin and you don't work for TD, but you hang around the help board all day pissing people off and posting bullshite replies? I really hope no one is paying you to do this. You're not helping their cause.

Thought TD was a legit site but when you start helping to hide the truth about LEO's and attempt to play if off as a joke it's inevitable that your customer base will start to fall off. Your members are reading through these threads and they're not stupid. They understand what's going on and many of them feel the same way I do.

ETA: And this really isn't about exposing corrupt cops because everybody knows cops are corrupt. It's more about the admins picking and choosing which topics they're going to allow to be debated. We asked a simple question about why the thread was anchored and after getting the run around and no clear answer, the answer became clear, but only indirectly. That's really what bothers me.
